Morning, This is my first time so please be gentle! I had an Acorn 5000 from 1991 which all my children used for their school work and diaries. I still have the floppy discs with their work on in 'First Word Plus' - but the computer is long gone. Does anyone know how I can get my PC to read them so that I can put their work into PC Word documents. When I try to load the floppy it just says disc media is not recognised. I do hope you can help. Many thanks.

I wonder if places like the Centre for Computing History have considered setting aside a machine for members of the public to use for transferring files from old disks. Ideally, you would hope that this sort of service would be something that local libraries could offer.
